Well, not real a motor humming, but I have had (since the beginning) a pain behind my right shoulder, from which (in my "profane" opinion) everything starts when the tingling expands in some limb or other. Only in the very first days after the shot I felt humming and crawly sensations behind my neck and in some parts of my head/face, but then it stopped. The pain in my back is like pain in the bones when it is very humid, something like arthrosis. Today the tingling is almost subdued, as I expected...really, no joke, I think I'm starting to get used to it!! After all it gives me no physical or organic  damage ( as far as i know...), so  if I manage to control anxiety my life goes on like always. Dear coriecl, I perfectly understand your frustration and fear, but believe me, we can't afford freaking out, let's think about our families and duties, we MUST survive this thing! Doctors are not of much help, unfortunately....

don't be so negative, we have all thought about GBS sooner or later, but it's not the case. I didn't understand when you had the shot: a month ago? More or less like me. I have had periods of several days when I'm ok, then today I have both hands tingling and my right arm aches a bit. It will pass away, as always. Probably we'll go on like this forever, doesn't matter, I'm starting to get used to it....

i have the same symptoms as all of you have/had but i'm definitely weaker in the last 2 days than i've been in a month.lumbar tap didn't indicate GBS but i have all the symptoms according to http://www.jsmarcussen.com/gbs/uk/overview.htm
very helpful website. i will keep checking to see how the rest of you are doing and to give daily updates on myself BUT if you don't hear from me it's because i've gone into the hospital and very likely with paralysis. i hope this hasn't happened to anyone else, especially the pregnant ladies.
take care
